  • Rare Plants Group 2007 Newsletter
    Ashmolean Natural History Society of Oxfordshire Rare Plants Group 2007 Newsletter Fen Violet, Viola persicifolia Note the mite waiting for a pollinating insect Photo: Phil Cutt INTRODUCTION Many of “our” species did well in 2007; Green Hound’s-tongue reappeared, just, at its Cotswold site; while Pasqueflower flourished on the chalk downland. Ploughing of the Wild Celery field has produced a record showing of this mainly coastal biennial. One of the young reinforcement plants of True Fox-sedge at BBOWT’s Asham Meads reserve even flowered. However, the little newly-planted Meadow Clary plants at Ardley were dug up by rabbits, and left to die. Fen Violet kept its numbers up, thanks to the dedicated farmer, the MoD warden and energetic volunteers from the neighbouring RSPB reserve. Preliminary research indicates that Fen Violet is producing lots of seed. Most pleasing of all John Killick found a new county record while working on the Rare Plants Register (see page 8). The spring and summer floods had dramatic effects on some species – Grass Poly, a charming magenta-flowered annual of flooded field corners, had a huge showing, after having been absent last year. Creeping Marshwort seemed to survive the floods – the plants at North Hinksey were under water for weeks in July and August, but went on to flower. We found Cuckoo-flower trying to beat the floods with little plantlets along the midribs of the leaves. Viviparous plantlets on the leaves of Cuckoo-flower, Cardamine pratensis, on Binsey Green; this is a known phenomenon but we think this maybe a response to the heavy summer flooding of 2007.

  • Butterfly Conservation Upper Thames Branch Butterfly Sightings Archive - January to December 2012
    Butterfly Conservation Upper Thames Branch Butterfly Sightings Archive - January to December 2012 ~ Wednesday 26th December 2012 ~ Ian Elphick sent the following report on Saturday 23rd December: "Had a text message from my daughter in Bracknell, Berks asking if butterflies should be flying at this time of year. On questioning, she described a Red Admiral she had just seen flying across the road outside her house." ~ Tuesday 4th December 2012 ~ Richard O'Dare reported the following: "I was at Little Marlow gravel pit (Bucks) today, 4th December, and this Peacock was enjoying the sunshine. Hopefully it will find somewhere to shelter from the cold nights." Peacock Photo © Richard O'Dare ~ Tuesday 19th November 2012 ~ Dave Wilton reported the following: "Our first organised Brown Hairstreak egg hunt of the season went off successfully on Sunday 18th November at Slade Camp, Shotover on the east side of Oxford. The ten participants found 25 eggs, numbers having almost returned to "normal" for the site after last winter's very low count of just 9 eggs. An early-instar Drinker Moth caterpillar was also seen, having crawled out of the grass (its foodplant) to hibernate on a blackthorn stem - they are encountered quite regularly while looking for Brown Hairstreak eggs. Our next egg hunt will be on Shotover Plain this coming Friday morning, 23rd November (see link above)." Dave Maunder sent the following sighting: "Last Wednesday, 14th November, I saw a male Brimstone fly past me while cycling to work along the A41 Aston Clinton road (Bucks) in the morning sun." ~ Wednesday 14th November 2012 ~ Chris Griffiths reported the following: "I thought you might be interested to know that I saw a Brimstone in my garden in west Reading, Berks at 12.15 this afternoon (14th November)." Dave Ferguson reports seeing a Red Admiral flying around his garden in Beaconsfield, Bucks yesterday, 13th November.

  • Butterfly Sightings 2007 BC Upper Thames Branch ** January to December 2007 Archive **
    Butterfly Sightings 2007 BC Upper Thames Branch ** January to December 2007 Archive ** Monday 31st December 2007 John Lerpiniere sent the following report on 23rd December: "I saw a Peacock at Castle Hill, Reading flying across the traffic on 26th November, a Brimstone at Broadmoor Bottom, Crowthorne, over heather on 29th November and a Peacock near Tidmarsh near Pangbourne making many circuits around a pheasant pen on 1st December." For some winter interest, Dennis Dell sent the photograph below on 3rd December: "It's a hibernating Purple Emperor larva in typical position at a junction of Sallow branches. Fantastic camouflage!" Sunday 2nd December 2007 Nick Bowles reports on the Conservation Work Party at Holtspur Bottom in November: "The reserve continues to look very good. A small group planted Violet (for Dark Green Fritillary larvae) around the scrub edge, after some tidying operations to remove dogwood regrowth, and Kidney Vetch (for Small Blue larvae) near the scrape." [To find out more about our Branch Conservation work - click here.] On 29th November Jan Haseler saw a Peacock in the hedge at the Riseley Village Sports Field. Saturday 24th November 2007 John Ward-Smith sent this news from Bracknell on 22nd November: "My wife reported a Peacock in the back garden at mid-day. It even settled on her and she said it was in good condition." David Redhead went to the National Members Day on 17th November: "Whilst chatting to Gillian Oldfield she told me she was surprised to see a Peacock flying in Combe on Friday afternoon - sunny but cold." Dave Wilton has been busy with the search for Brown Hairstreak eggs in the Bucks/Oxon border area over the past couple of weeks and has already managed to add three new kilometre squares to the butterfly's known range around Bicester.

  • SEA Screening Statement
    Screening Statement on the determination of the need for a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) in accordance with the Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004 and European Directive 2001/42/EC for the Lewknor Neighbourhood Development Plan 06 APRIL 2020 SUMMARY Following consultation with statutory bodies, South Oxfordshire District Council (the ‘Council’) determines that Lewknor Neighbourhood Development Plan (Lewknor NDP) does not require a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA). INTRODUCTION 1. An initial screening opinion was used to determine whether or not the contents of the emerging Lewknor Neighbourhood Development Plan (Lewknor NDP) required a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) in accordance with the European Directive 2011/42/EC (the Directive) and associated Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004 (the Regulations). A Habitats Regulation Screening Assessment is included in Appendix 2. 2. Any land use plan or programme ‘which sets the framework for future development consent of projects’ must be screened according to a set of criteria from Annex II of the Directive and Schedule 1 of the Regulations. These criteria include exceptions for plans ‘which determine the use of a small area at local level’ or which only propose ‘minor modifications to a plan’, if it is determined that the plan is unlikely to have significant environmental effects. 3. The initial screening opinion was subject to consultation with Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and Oxfordshire County Council. The results of the screening process are detailed in this Screening Statement. THE SCREENING PROCESS 1. Using the criteria set out in Annex II of the Directive and Schedule 1 of the Regulations, a Screening Opinion determines whether a plan or programme is likely to have significant environmental effects.

  • Oxfordshire Flora Group 2019 Newsletter
    Ashmolean Natural History Society of Oxfordshire Oxfordshire Flora Group 2019 Newsletter Fallopia dumetorum Copse Bindweed Photograph by Phil Cutt 1 INTRODUCTION As always, I am so impressed by the commitment of all our Flora Guardians in 2019. It was a year of strange weather, with periods of rain, periods of drought and some hot spells that were very hot indeed. As you will read in the following reports, our targeted plants were affected by this situation in various ways. This work took up a lot of time but OFG members also managed to arrange and attend many surveys that gathered data for the BSBI 2020 Atlas, with the final date for submitting results being December 2019. We had an excellent series for Spring Term Lunchtime talks, the last to be arranged by Susan Erskine, who formally retired from that role in March 2019. Keith Kirby started the series by describing his work at Wytham in a talk entitled A View from the Bramble Patch: Changes in the Flora of Wytham Woods. Lisa Lane, (Upper Thames Living Landscape Manager for BBOWT) gave an illuminating talk on Chimney Meadows – Floodplain Restoration and Laurence Bee fascinated everyone with an introduction to plant galls called Knoppers and Spangles. Unfortunately, Judy Webb was forced by ill-health to cancel her talk on Marsh Lousewort but Brian Laney very nobly stood in to give a talk on New Plant Finds in Northamptonshire. I would like to thank Susan again for her sterling work over the years in organising so many excellent series of Spring Talks and welcome Tanya Smith who has graciously agreed to take on the role, starting in 2020.

  • 2020 Newsletter
    Ashmolean Natural History Society of Oxfordshire Rare Plants Group 2020 Newsletter Salvia pratensis, Meadow Clary Photograph by Christine Marsh INTRODUCTION 2020 was, of course, a challenging year for us all and, also, for the work of the Flora Guardians. I would like to thank everyone who managed to get out and about and have produced reports for this newsletter. For some species the relaxation of lockdown came too late in the season but, as you will see below, many people were able to achieve a remarkable amount of work. The Spring Term Talks managed to miss lockdown by a whisker and three fascinating talks were held at the Plant Sciences department. We are grateful to them for allowing us use of the Schlich Lecture Theatre. We had an introduction by John Poland to his new book “The Field Guide to Winter Twigs”, Andrew Lack outlined the difficulties in understanding “Why do British Milkworts vary so much in colour?” and Oliver Pescott offered a look into the future with his talk “Invasive alien plants - where are we and what’s on the horizon?” Many thanks go to Tanya Smith for organising such an interesting programme. In December a workshop was held for Flora Guardians, on Zoom as in-person meetings were still not possible. Talks and or presentations were given by several of the Flora Guardians. Keith Cohen shared his plans for True Fox-sedge for 2021 (shelved from 2020), then Kathy Warden explained her work near Aston Upthorpe (largely on Pasqueflower) and also at White Horse Hill where she monitors Field Fleawort and Frog Orchid.
